If it isn't leaking, there's no signs of smoking, no rattles and knocks and it's performing well, could it be that you're inadvertently over-filling it? It is easily done if you check the oil level on a cold motor (like you would do on a car). 200-300ml in 250Km is a lot, but if it's over-filled it will blow out the breather quite quickly and at about the rate you describe. Oil level checks on the XT660 need to be done after the engine's been run for a bit and warmed up, but not immediately after a hard ride either as the oil will be a bit frothy and the level will read high.
Here's a thread that may help -
